Night In The Woods. If you haven’t played it, I’d recommend it. The characters are so well written, and some of the things they touch on hit me on a very, very personal level. And the music complements it all perfectly. It manages to have silly moments and serious moments with the same characters that all manage to fit and mesh together so well, and their relationships and lives all feel real and evolving throughout the story.

LucidNightmare,

Watched JackSepticEye a lonnng time ago play this game. It’s a really well done story! I should see if it’s on the Steam Sale since I have my own gaming rig now.

buttnugget,

Absolutely get it! It’s such a joy to explore through on your own. It’s available on every platform too.

The dreams/nightmares could use a “skip” button, as other than the very first, they serve no purpose whatsoever.

Other than that, my headcanon is that Mae gets back together with Bea over Gregg, the latter has his boyfriend and Bea really needs a friend.

Furbag,

Damn, I didn’t think this one would be on here, but that’s my choice too. Super relatable story if you live in a small town.

Kerbal Space Program changed how I understand space flight.

Factorio changed how I approach programming

Modding original Doom and GTA vice city taught me 2d and 3d graphics as well as hacking and programming.

ramenshaman,

I’m afraid to play Factorio. I can’t afford to sacrifice the amount of productivity that I suspect I would lose.

You won’t lose productivity, you will merely divert it into the factory, who will use its full efficiency for growth

Weirdfish,

It is one of the most addictive games I’ve played, and yet, I have learned more from it than almost any other.

Programming has been a core part of my career for about 20 years, and I can’t think of any other time I’ve had such leaps forward as I did in the first few months playing factory.

It really is a great visual representation of large scale systems management.

That said, it can be one hell of a time suck.

kossa,

KSP really is top tier Edutainment. I finally understood, why we don’t shoot all garbage into the sun 😅. Turns out, rocket science really is some rocket science

OddMinus1,

KSP definitely. I was literally doing astrophysics at uni when I started playing. It got me a much better sense for orbital mechanics and trajectories than any class ever did.

Hacknet, Disco Elysium, Life Is Strange

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe,

I don’t know what it was, but Life Is Strange singlehandedly changed my trajectory in life. So many things opened up inside me I didn’t know about myself and my attitude towards others shifted. I took real stock of myself and my future and what I wanted out of life, and what that might cost me.

LucidNightmare,

The part where you use your powers to save that one character, and the repercussions of that action, shook me.

  • NieR Gestalt
  • NieR Automata Ending E
  • Silent Hill 2 (the original, not the remake)
  • Doki Doki Literature Club!
  • A Girl Who Chants Love At the Bound of this World: YU-NO (the original, not the remake)

I dont know about changing my life, but they certainly had incredibly impactful/emotional endings IMO.

The first two that come to mind whenever this discussion comes up are Dragon Age: Origins and Bioshock.

If it were possible to erase memories, I’d erase my memories of these games and play them for the first time again.

definitemaybe,

DA:O is peak CRPG. I love that game so much. I should do another solo nightmare playthrough, with a different class this time…

Tom & Jerry: In the war of Whiskers. I like breaking stuff

Duke Nukem 3D.

Persona 3 and Omori, both about death and depression and grief and they’re just so bittersweet

Minecraft lol

I studied cs because of it, hell I even wrote about minecraft in one of my admission essays. Something bionicles to minecraft to stem pipeline as I would call it

I also really like PGR. It’s a gacha game but I met a really nice community from it

If we’re talking about great story driven games, signalis and nier are always my top favorites.

pulsewidth,

So many elitists have dismissed Minecraft over the years as a ‘little kids game’ - missing out on a truly great game. The end poem made me tear up. Music is fantastic, I bought all of C418’s music off Bandcamp.

Baguette,

For me, minecraft kinda shaped my childhood in a sense. I played so much of beta 1.5, and watched so many minecraft YouTubers back then. My favorites introduced me to monstercat, an edm music label which pretty much formed my music taste, and also introduced me to pc gaming (i downloaded steam because my favorite minecraft youtuber also played skyrim)

So yea minecraft is still my no 1 game. Especially considering I still occasionally have a month long session with a modpack.

pulsewidth,

Thanks for sharing that, Minecraft has really shaped so much culture.

I got dragged back in late last year playing Skyblock’s latest version. It started as ‘I’ll just test it out’, then a few months building and exploring in it passed before I wanted to play anything else.

Homeworld. The end credits were so beautiful. It still gives me frisson thinking about it.

burntbacon,

Dude. I played it when I was just getting into the emotional aspects of being a teenager, and mission 3 just hits you in the face. The desperation to rescue the six containers was real.

Djehngo,

No one’s left, everything’s gone, Kharak is burning

Sad choral adagio for strings

_stranger_,

Came here to say the same.

oyo,

That song is an emotional cheat code though.

EverQuest. It has been 26 years with no real breakd now. I fucking love that game.

everquest has an ending??

jawa22,

No. I was responding to the question in the title.

AshCircuit,

I have tried to get into it, I simply can’t. It’s such a grind fest and World of Warcraft as superior in every way.

RedFrank24, (edited ) do gaming w What game changed your life?

Spiritfarer, though it’s more crying than drinking. It took playing the game alongside my best friend to get me to finish it, because I cried at the first spirit and couldn’t continue on my own.

It didn’t help that my grandma died right as I started playing the game with my friend, and I was beating myself up for missing that last phone call.
